i dunno man, he looks like a huge project. everyone was drooling about lance and he flopped so far. richardson is even less experienced isn't he? and has accuracy/mental issues. they have no idea if he'll be any good in the nfl. there was a sneaking suspicion that lamar would be good but teams were too scared to take him high.

.
I agree. He is a huge gamble.

And Coen knows him well. Levis excelled under him.
Maybe Coen knowing him well is the reason he didn’t go in round one. I’m sure some of his NFL connections talked to him about Levis. If Coen wants back in the league then I think he’d be telling them the truth, either way. You don’t make friends by screwing over NFL teams with bad info.

What we should do now is to trade down and load up on Oline. But my wanting that badly means that Snead won't do it. So which undersized WR will we pick now?
No OL for you! You get small fast guy who won’t get targets

Seems like a lot of talent there, I really don’t want a trade down farther than low 40’s if they do it. They have to get a day 1 starter who makes a difference.

Torrence or Avila would be my wants.

Which one of those players can play OC??
Rams need an OC. It won't matter what they do if they don't wind up with a decent OC for 2023.

My favorite IOL scenario would bring us C/OG Steve Avila at pick #69 and OG Andrew Vorhees later following a trade. While Brian Allen/Shelton are our likely Center & back-up Center for 2023, Steve Avila would start at OG this season and slide over to starting at Center in 2024 after learning the system. Vorhees is probably going to slide down some because of his ACL injury and inability to play this season, so next year with Avila now at Center, Vorhees would become a permanent starting OG.

I'm saying a prayer he's the one guy we DON'T take. lol. Can't remember the last time a very large and not very fast or quick TE became a significant difference maker. I see this guy as Kyle Brady and, IMO, this team has far bigger needs.
4.7 40 and a 32.5 vertical isn't super athletic but he isn't a stiff either. Gronks's 40 time was 4.68 and he had 33.5 vertical and he turned out ok.

Maybe he's trying to get him to fall to 36 for his friend in McVay. Haha.

I think you won the day 2 Rams mock draft. Congratulations, there is a beer waiting for you somewhere.

Detroit might do it too as there first two picks were a bit mah...
I would totally take that and not think twice about it.

Brian Branch, S/CB, Alabama - would instantly be our best DB hard to pass on drafting a starter and best player in a position group​

O'Cyrus Torrence, G, Florida solid against both run & pass no glam just productive​

Steve Avila, G, TCU Versitile just like we like em​

Michael Mayer, TE, Notre Dame - could be faster​

BJ Ojulari, DE/OLB, LSU - mild size concerns​

Ok....so most on here would despise taking a QB at 36.
So which QB are we taking.
Levi's or Hooker?

When I look at the trade back values.. I just keep my fingers crossed.
I don't know how they get there.. but trading back 20 spots gives them two more picks in the top 120 for sure.... and I'm more than happy with the guys likely available in the mid-late 50's as a starting point.

Quantity AND quality is what I'm hoping for. Less ceiling, much higher floor for the entire draft class.

I wouldn't trade back too far if they decide to. Gotta be a balance between trading too far back and getting some solid players. I wouldn't necessarily be mad either if we stay out either and pick up a solid player. I'm sure the Rams know who they want to target.
